100 Acre Wood Wedding: Sarah & Travis

A Family-Focused Wedding at 100 Acre Wood in Picton, Ontario

When Sarah and Travis planned their 100 Acre Wood wedding, one thing was clear: they wanted the day to feel like them. No pressure to perform. No unnecessary traditions. Just a relaxed, joy-filled celebration centered around their family and their love.

100 Acre Wood — tucked into the peaceful countryside of Picton, Ontario, in the heart of Prince Edward County — turned out to be the perfect backdrop for that kind of day.

Real, Relaxed, and Full of Meaning

From the start, Sarah and Travis made choices that reflected who they are. They had a small wedding party, no over-the-top details, and let their kids be involved in everything. I loved watching how they prioritized connection over perfection — especially when it came to parenting through the wedding chaos with total grace.

One of the most memorable parts of the day? Their ceremony, officiated by Sarah’s twin sister. It was emotional, intimate, and personal in a way that hit everyone in the heart. You could feel how close this family is — how much they’ve grown together, not just as a couple, but as a unit.

We took portraits in a nearby meadow, where the light filtered through the trees just right. Their kids ran around in between shots, picking flowers and laughing — and instead of rushing them, Sarah and Travis let those moments unfold. It was honest and a little wild and exactly what documentary-style photography is meant to preserve.
Why Consider a 100 Acre Wood Wedding?

100 Acre Wood is one of those venues that gives you options without feeling overwhelming. You get the quiet magic of nature, but with real infrastructure and thoughtful design. The modern chapel is bright and airy. The tented reception space is already beautiful as-is. And there’s plenty of space for your guests to roam or relax without feeling confined.

Here’s what stood out to me as a photographer:

• The light — soft, filtered, and consistent. Great for portraits and candids.
• The layout — everything is walkable and well-placed, so you don’t lose time moving people from one spot to the next.
• The vibe — it’s elegant, but not pretentious. It invites you to be yourselves.

If you’re planning a Prince Edward County wedding and want somewhere that allows for both simplicity and depth, I’d put 100 Acre Wood on your list. Especially if you care more about how the day feels than how it looks on a Pinterest board.

If PEC feels like your place, I’d love to photograph your day. You can learn more about my County wedding photography approach here.
